Advice on patio moss

    Hi there, we have a patio balcony and there's a lot of moss starting to grow around the edges and between the slabs. I'm not a gardener at myself so I'm ignorant as to what's the best way to remove the moss.

    Are there moss remover products, and if so which would you recommend?
    And how much roughly!

    Thanks!

    If its a small area cheap washing powder sprinkled on it will kill off the moss..
    Otherwise you can get specific products to kill moss, I got one recently, Moss-go or some such, €24 for 5 litres and it will treat 200sq meters.. Mix with water and spray on..

    Washing powder really! I'm always surprised at the extra applications of the most unlikely things :D Will give it a go, cheers!

    You can make a weedkiller by mixing salt, vinegar and water or use Jeyes fluid.

    used the salt water and vinegar out on the slabs there last week, and was able to sweep all the dead moss and weeds away today very easily with a yard brush. Thanks for the tip!!
